Today is the start of my new journey. I have been overweight most of my life. I yo-yo with my weight. I have lost as much as 75 pounds on my own and gained most of it back. I did this twice ! I have choosen this lifestyle change because obviously, I can't do it without help. I look forward to the journey and insights any of you can provide for me!

Welcome!

The lap band is a great choice for a yo yo dieter! It really helps you to not regain the weight. You've shown that you are capable of losing it and the band will help you keep it off. They always say that maintenance is the hardest part of a diet. I am four years out now and maintaining about 5 pounds from my goal. I can live with that! I'm very happy for you and wish you the best of luck on your journey,
